Santa Ana Winds

It is officially Summer in Southern California. How can that be? The calendar says October. Well October is when the Santa Ana winds begin to blow.
The wonderful thing about living in Southern California is the Pacific Ocean, while not only beautiful it is cool, so when the winds blow in from the West, we get a nice cooling affect. Well that is from the West, but if Sister Bridget Mary's Geography lessons were correct in the 6th grade, East of Southern California are Hot Deserts!
Guess what happens when the wind comes in from the Desert...HEAT!!

Plus these winds blow a lot harder then usually from the Ocean. Today was about 100 degrees in our little town, plus everything was blowing around with clocked winds up to 40 mph.
Plus what is the Wild West without Tumbleweeds??
